    <H1> Australian Plant Collectors and Illustrators</H1>
    <h2>1780s-1980s </h2>
  </div>
<P>This web site is based on the list published by J.H. Willis, D. Pearson, M.T.
  Davis, and J.W. Green, <I>Western Australian Herbarium Research Notes Number 
  12</I>, August 1986. That original list has been supplemented by additional 
  entries and some updates of dates, especially where people have died since that 
  publication. Links to biographical notes and portraits have been added for many 
entries.
<P>It basically lists those collectors or illustrators likely to be encountered in Australian herbaria and the relevant scientific literature.

<P>The introduction to the original list published by Willis et al is reproduced 
  here: <A HREF="intro.html">Introduction (1986)</A> 
<P>I would like to thank Neville Marchant, Director of the Western Australian 
  Herbarium which published the original list, for his support and permission 
  to base this web site on the data within that publication. I also thank Tony 
  Orchard, Director of ABRS Botany Section, for allowing me to use many of his 
  biographical notes from <I>Flora of Australia Vol.1 2nd ed</I> as the basis 
  for many of the links. I would also like to thank Margaret Boots, an ANBG volunteer, for her huge effort in scanning and OCR-processing much of the historical literature.
